Swinerton completed an expansion and remodel to the existing casino including a new ground-up 12-story hotel, along with new swimming pools, spas, and a lazy river. The team also constructed a new conference and events center and expanded the fine dining and beverage areas.

The four diamond hotel features 302 keys with penthouse suites on the top two floors along with balconies and glass railings. Within the rooms, guests will have access to coffee bars, full height armoire, tile and glass shower, lighted vanity mirror and separate water closets.

The pool and garden area includes two pools, a lazy river and two spas as well as a kitchen and two bars. Surrounding these pools are over forty five date palm trees reaching fifty five feet in height with decorative rock and desert landscaping.

The project scope also included the full tenant build-out of eight restaurants including a high-end steakhouse, a sushi bar, Starbucks, and several local favorites like Phil’s BBQ, Hodad’s, Lucha Libre, and Luna Grill.
